Microsoft Develops Native OneNote App for iPhone

Microsoft today announced that it is offering its OneNote note-taking application to Apple's iOS platform. This is the first time that Microsoft has offered any type of native iPhone support for its Office line of productivity applications. The application allows users to take notes on their phone, which are then automatically sync them in the background to a user's Windows Live account. The application is free for a limited time. Microsoft didn't say how much it will cost once the promotion ends. OneNote for iPhone requires a Windows Live ID and a device running iOS 4.2 and up. Microsoft has offered other apps to the iOS platform, but not its core business-grade applications before.
